Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

You came home late with her name on your breath

I sat in the kitchen and I counted the spoons

Something inside me quietly left

Poured out the tea and I stared at the moon

Pre-Chorus

I gave you my Sundays

I gave you my trust

You handed me back

Just a handful of dust

Chorus

Now I'm lonely

So lonely

Nobody told me

It would hurt like this

I'm lonely

So lonely

Loving you badly

Was my only bliss

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

My friends all say girl you're better alone

I nod and I smile and I finish my drink

Your jumper's still hanging there cold on the phone

I'm washing the sheets and I can't even think

Pre-Chorus

I gave you my winter

I gave you my spring

You gave me a stranger

And a diamond ring

Chorus

Now I'm lonely

So lonely

Nobody told me

It would hurt like this

I'm lonely

So lonely

Loving you badly

Was my only bliss

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh

Bridge

Said I'd be fine

Said I'd be grand

Said I'd forget you

Said I had plans

Said I'd be fine

Said I'd be grand

But I'm standing in the doorway with your coat in my hand

Chorus

Now I'm lonely

So lonely

Nobody told me

It would hurt like this

I'm lonely

So lonely

Loving you badly

Was my only bliss

Chorus

I'm lonely

So lonely

(I'm so lonely)

Nobody told me

(Oh nobody told me)

It would hurt like this

I'm lonely

So lonely

Loving you badly

(Loving you badly)

Was my only bliss

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh
